Yes you can...I keep cake flour on hand to make my cakes, but I have ran out before and used all purpose flour and the cakes turn out fine. You may want to use just a tiny bit less, but doubt that it wil make a nickel's worth of difference. Good luck!

Cake flour has a 6-8% protein content and is made from soft wheat flour. It is chlorinated to further break down the strength of the gluten and is smooth and velvety in texture. Good for making cakes (especially white cakes and biscuits) and cookies where a tender and delicate texture is desired. To substitute cake flour for all-purpose flour use 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour for every cup of all-purpose flour. Make your own - one cup sifted cake flour can be substituted with 3/4 cup (84 grams) sifted bleached all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons (15 grams) cornstarch.

yes, just make sure you sift it a few times first.

use 7/8 cup all purpose flour for each cup of cake flour

7/8 cup = 1 level cup - 2 tablespoons

I always use regular flour and my cakes come out fine.

Here's what I found: "For each cup of all purpose flour used, subtract 2 Tablespoons. There is no need to add anything to this. It simply reduces the amount of gluten which makes for a better consistency."

Yes you can substitute but first you should sift the flour then measure it. Sifting makes it lighter and more airy. Also, you could add a little more baking pwder like maybe an extra teaspoon to it before you sift that is so its mixed together

Yes you can, but if it is plain flour add a teaspoon of baking powder to help it rise.
